alright well I'm new to the site and have had my 97 Gt hatch for about a year now. i've done very few things to it besides a small sound system and some lights hooked up throughout the car. all of you seem very helpful and i have my high school car show coming up soon. i'm poor haha. so i'm trying to keep things cheap but if you have any mods you would recommend for me to at least start a little buzz about the car that would be nice.
 i'm more looking for styling as i drive just for economy but if you have some performance ideas that are fairly reasonable that would be cool too. i'm also kind of inexperienced so obviously i'm not going to throw a 3s gte engine in there anytime soon.  so just looking for ideas! i'll put up pics soon! Thanks!

Honestly, I cringe thinking about what it would look like with blue seat covers, blue steering wheel cover, blue paint everywhere and blue floor mats. It just ricetastic.

It just ricetastic. I would have to agree with this. Don't go overboard trying to match interior/exterior colors. Have you guys ever seen in some of the older toyotas (90s supra, corolla). Some had "matching" red interiors, and if you've ever seen them then you would know that there is such a thing as too much matching... Do as Super already said, give it a good wash (claybar if you want) and a nice wax with maybe a coat of ntx and a coat of something harder (like yellow 26). That should really bring out the shine.
